Minas Morgul

Location from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Dead City — once the beautiful Minas Ithil, Tower of the Moon, now a corrupted fortress of the Nazgûl that glows with a sickly corpse-light.

Also known as: Minas Morgul, the Dead City, Minas Ithil, Tower of Sorcery, Tower of the Moon

What They Know
